## November Workshops

Lloyd provided an update following the first committee presentation to the community. 

Product Committee: The session went well, with many constructive questions from the audience.  The second product committee is due within the next two days. 

More committee sessions are planned, with all of them doing two sessions to cover multiple time zones. 

Lloyd confirmed that more activity is required on X (socials), and he is happy to work with any members of the committee should they wish to host or post anything.
